Pro Days
A lot of highly regarded prospects were waiting on their pro-days to show scouts, coaches, and front offices their skills and athletically ability. The NFL doesn’t have the power to cancel pro days but teams run their own businesses. If some of the biggest companies in the United States — and the world — are telling their employees not to travel unless it’s necessary, it would check out that teams — which are just like any business — would do the same.
That means a lot of players with something to prove may not get their proverbial close up. Teams will have to heavily rely on game tape. Interviews will have to be done via video conference. It’s unfortunate to players who may not have had a ton of time on the field but do well enough of their pro day to get drafted or players from smaller schools who need pro days to catch on with a team.
